Apple arcade local multiplayer

Why doesn't apply arcade include a list, or allow sorting for LOCAL multiplayer. I don't want my kids playing with people from outside our house. It's very annoying. Way too many games are single player or multiplayer, but NOT local. Any ideas where apple posts this? I don't want to refer to an odd list on reddit when they should be providing this information.

Thanks!

Apple Arcade games that has multiplayer function with one Apple ID? What games other than Crossy castle in Apple Arcade have the ability to use one Apple ID with a multiplayer function? This is not an issue of connecting controllers; We bought wireless controllers and they are linked to our Apple box, but most Apple Arcade games seem to intend “multiplayer” games to be played with online friends. We want Apple Arcade games that can be played TOGETHER with family & friends in the SAME ROOM & under ONE Apple ID so those that do not have an iPhone or Apple account can play together using the wireless controllers. I have children that do not have phones or separate Apple IDs that want to be able to play with our wireless controllers—like the Crossy Castle game allows—but we are unable to do this because I cannot find any other games that support this. I am considering getting a different game console and not using Apple Arcade anymore because it does not support this function of a multiplayer game using one Apple ID on a single device. Does anyone know of any other games that support this or a work-around to this that I am unaware of? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

No search on Apple Arcade! I pay for my kids to have Apple Arcade because I want to know they’re playing without ads. The fact that there is no way to search is beyond infuriating . It means that they have to search in App Store and see all the games they don’t have access to rather than choosing from the ones that we are already paying to have access to!! Then this morning for the hundredth time I searched independently to suggest a game they might like on Arcade, now that we found one recommended particularly for Arcade, we actually can’t find it in the Arcade. It is utterly infuriating and such a waste of our time. I am wondering why we even bother paying- it baffles me that Apple would make it this way.

Local Multiplayer Request I see multiple posts about the restrictions for minors for local network play on Apple Arcade. How do we formally request for Apple Arcade to allow local network play for kids under 13? I don’t mind going through an approval but want to be able to play games with my kids and for them to play together locally. It’s fine for Brawls and Crossy Castle, but leaves us disappointed for games like Survivalist. thanks!
